I haven't had any success

"I haven't had any success with this variety."

— Connie L. (3/5)

Love it

"Love it"

— Kametrica F. (5/5)

Easy to plant seeds

"When we got these, it was outside the planting window. Happy to report the seeds are growing beautifully in a pot outside! Easy to follow directions and hoping for an abundance of basil!"

— Connie B. (5/5)

Tasty herb to add to the meals

"Received complimentary from Influenster and Ferry-Morse I have been having so much fun growing these 100% organic basil seeds. I keep growing them outside in the flower pot. They started to come out after about 10 days, the leaves smell so nice, and the taste is really delicious. , a bit sweet and a bit spicy . I use them to make Caprese salad, also in omelets."

— Vaidam6708 (5/5)

Plant lots, grow some

"This was a pretty straightforward process. I’ve never gardened before, so this was my first time, and it was very beginner friendly. Of the entire packet that I planted, only about three or four started growing, and they haven’t grown as fast as others that I’ve purchased from other places. They smell great, standard basil, no complaints on the quality of the actual leaf. "

— Sarahe130 (4/5)

First plant on my own 🥹🌱

"I recently planted my very first plant using Ferry Morse Basil: Sweet Organic Seeds, and I am thrilled with the results! Even though I delayed writing this review because I wanted to see how well I could grow it on my own, I’m happy to share my journey! 🥹 From the start, the seeds germinated quickly and grew into healthy seedlings. I followed the simple instructions on the packet, ensuring they received plenty of sunlight and regular watering. Watching them grow has been such a rewarding experience, and I’m proud of how well they’ve done. Even though I faced a few challenges along the way, the process was straightforward and enjoyable. The basil plants are now thriving, and I can’t wait to use fresh basil from my garden in my cooking. Overall, I highly recommend these seeds for both beginners and experienced gardeners. They made my first gardening attempt a successful and delightful experience!"

— Lavendering (5/5)

Great germination, typical packaging for seeds

"Great seeds! The seeds all germinated perfectly and are growing great. Haven’t gotten to eat any yet, but they look delicious so far. They look better than the store bought plants I purchased."

— Elenamarie326 (5/5)

Basil- my favorite spice leaves

"The packaging of Ferry~Morse organic sweet basil seeds is compact with clear information, instructions for use, information for months of the year, temperatures, and regions of the country where this plant can be grown. Basil seeds are uniform in size and color. The seeds are large, heavy, dry, clean, not damaged or cracked. According to the instructions, it takes about 6 weeks to move to the garden to continue planting. I look forward to this season because my family often and loves to eat sweet basil, an indispensable spice that makes dishes more delicious."

— Jessie25 (5/5)

Love growing my own

"Personal l like to grow herb’s myself at in home. It’s actually encourages me to cook and prepare more fresh meals. Plus it’s fun for my kids, watching the growing process: planting the seeds, caring for them, seeing them germinate and eventually harvesting and enjoying! Came nicely packaged with a good quantity of seeds. Looking forward to enjoying some fresh tasty basil leaves soon! Seemed reasonably priced and would likely purchase again."

— Susanc117 (4/5)

Fresh Basil Seeds

"I love Basil so I was really happy to receive these seeds. Basil is such a versatile herb and I love cooking with it. The packaging was easy to open and included a lot of information. I planted the seeds in a seed starter (far left row)."
